• Today, many Malay language teachers find it challenging to teach imbuhan (affix) to students who lack practice in speaking and reading books in Malay.

• We offer an approach where such group of students can do well in imbuhan exercises

• Our approach allows these students to view solving a language task as a scientific endeavour and thus motivate their inquisitive mind to solve the problem.

• Our approach requires students to apply eight scientific rules to determine which part of speech the answer in an imbuhanquestion belongs.

• To do this, they simply need to identify the position of the underline word (the question) in relation to certain elements in the sentence.
